What reading level is Dear Old Father book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Celesta Ball Mat DEAR OLD FATHER CONTRITION My father, o'er thy grave long years The flowers have bloomed. Yet, still my tears Its verdure bathe; still conscience cries Of unrequited sacrifice; Of boundless love and constant aid With base ingratitude repaid, And tinges every thought of thee With grief and pain that torture me Until my soul, with anguish riven, Gropes out for thine to be forgiven!
My father, couldst thou only know How much I loved thee, and the woe With which I constantly recall... My cold indifference to all Thy kindly care; that not in vain Thy precepts; that thy honored name Is still my talisman and shield, Upheld by pride that cannot yield Could I but know thou knowest, then Peace might come to me again.
My father, though thy form be gone, In me thy purpose still lives on; Around me still thy presence stays, Illumes my path, directs my ways; Thy image in my heart enshrined Doth shame base impulse from the mind. And whate'er good my life may yield Will all be garnered from a field Sown fruitful by thy loving hand.
